We show that if an equivalence relation $E$ on a Polish space is a countable union of smooth Borel subequivalence relations, then there is either a Borel reduction of $E$ to a countable Borel equivalence relation on a Polish space or a…

We extend the recently introduced setting of coherent differentiation for taking into account not only differentiation, but also Taylor expansion in categories which are not necessarily (left)additive. The main idea consists in extending…

We study reductions well suited to compare structures and classes of structures with respect to properties based on enumeration reducibility. We introduce the notion of a positive enumerable functor and study the relationship with…

Alternative partial Boolean structures, implicit in the discussion of classical representability of sets of quantum mechanical predictions, are characterized, with definite general conclusions on the equivalence of the approaches going back…

We define notions of generically and coarsely computable relations and structures and functions between structures. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of equivalence structures in the context of these definitions

This paper investigates the problem of extending measure theory to non-separable structures, from generalized descriptive set theory to a broader class of spaces beyond this framework. While various notions, such as the ideal of measure…

We investigate the behavior of countable Borel equivalence relations (CBERs) on topological Ramsey spaces. First, we give a simple proof of the fact that every CBER on $[\mathbb{N}]^{\mathbb{N}}$ is hyperfinite on some set of the form…

Suppose $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is nowhere dense. If $(\mathbb{R},<,+,(x \mapsto \lambda x)_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R} }, E)$ does not define every bounded Borel subset of every $\mathbb{R}^n$ then for every $s > 0$ we have $$ | \{ k \in…

We introduce the definability strength of combinatorial principles. In terms of definability strength, a combinatorial principle is strong if solving a corresponding combinatorial problem could help in simplifying the definition of a…

We provide a gentle introduction, aimed at non-experts, to Borel combinatorics that studies definable graphs on topological spaces. This is an emerging field on the borderline between combinatorics and descriptive set theory with deep…

We formalize an existing computability-theoretic method of presenting first-order structures whose domains have the cardinality of the continuum. Work using these methods until now has emphasized their topological properties. We shift the…

Ramsey theory looks for regularities in large objects. Model theory studies algebraic structures as models of theories. The structural Ramsey theory combines these two fields and is concerned with Ramsey-type questions about certain…

We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…

A rank is a notion in descriptive set theory that describes ranks such as the Cantor-Bendixson rank on the set of closed subsets of a Polish space, differentiability ranks on the set of differentiable functions in $C[0,1]$ such as the…
